And I am so in love with him! Had a beautiful little boy - well, not so little at 9lb 2. Had very good labour - 5 hours, waters staying intact till 15 mins before delivery (he has avoided having to have antibiotics for Strep B, they just monitored him for 24 hours). I got one dose of IV antibios in 3 hours before.
Arduous pushing stage - hard work and his shoulders stuck. Scary but midwives threw my legs over shoulders and wiggled him out. Thank God he was fine. Managed it all with no pain relief - my doula and husband and midwife were`all FANTASTIC. He's feeding well and I am so happy. Never doing it again though!
